Stay away from the Euro Booth Dinette. You lose the queen size sofa bed plus is is not a comfortable option. Looks good though....

That depends on floor plan if you lose the sofa. 4369 I have euro booth, large queen sleeper, and jack knife bed.

I find it comfortable for 1 per side...not so much for 2 per side.
 
Makes sense. I have the 4326 Bunk Model.

We also find it comfortable for 1 per side. And, the storage drawers under each bench are very handy.
 
We upgraded each closet door to have auto LED lights when they open. Worth every penny and this was an inexpensive upgrade.
 
We put the Sat Antenna on the roof, but in hindsight, would have used a ground based unit, and saved the money. I also would not get the Sky Ranger unit, 5G is coming out in the next 2-3 years, and so it will be obsolete by then. I love the all electric coach, so would get all that, wish we had gotten the heated floors and we should have spent money on the Cherry interior.

Otherwise I like all the other stuff we got. NM Put in the macerator toilet, and that makes dumping easier, still got the slinky hose, but stuff is just a slurry. If I think of anything else, will list it here. Wish they had a fixed OTA antenna instead of the crank up model, but such is life.
 
Any thoughts about the built-in nav system? I’m inclined to not go there.
 
All - I have heard the adaptive cruise control/collision avoidance has lots of braking issues. We did not have that as option. Two different folks at Mothership were talking about it, and both said it's more trouble than it's worth. The auto braking feature especially will put you through the windshield. I have NO personal experience with it, just what I heard.
No don't get the Roof Satellite feature, and if you choose to, have it setup for Dish, DTV is going down the tubes as ATT is wrecking the business. We cancelled ours, and OTA and using internet at home have more channels than when on DTV. Saving 60 a month doing that.
I found that updating the Onboard NAV in dash system keeps it working fine. What I don't like is it's planning/routing/campground location process is not like any other unit on the market. Planning a trip on RM "trip planner" site is fine, take some getting used to. I have been trying for 8 months to setup account on their system, no joy. The process of saving the trip to CHIP, is also not intuitive so takes a little getting used to.

We wish heated floors, and the cherry interior is beautiful if you like that color. One owner had lots of trouble with the induction range, ours has worked perfectly, his has too much voltage going to it, and believe that burns it out. He had 3 of them. Sure there is more once brain wakes up.
 
We love cherry cabinetry, but unfortunately, cherry is not available on ‘21 models. Only a variety of maple finishes.
 
For OTA , order the Razar automatic antenna. It searches for all the local & OTA channels, then all you have to do is go to your TV, and do a "channel scan", & it uploads the stations to your TV.

I ordered the Wineguard open face TV satellite for DISH! It is automatic, works well for me, & the really nice thing is that you can sign up for the "DISH, Pay as You Go" account. It is billed monthly, & if not using it, don't pay; then call & reactivate when needed. Plus there all all types of packages available, for sports, news, etc. Base package is just OK, not too may real good channels, in my opinion. Also the Wineguard has two coax connections, which means you can connect front & back TV's separately, view different channels, but has to be on the same satellite!

I did not order the Navigation system, as I had heard too many negatives about it. And FYI...Garmin RV770, RV895 both do a great job, & have lifetime updates at no cost!

It depends on the coach selected, & the model, but some have a "fireplace" available, & it has a built in heater. An enjoyable option, & creates great ambiance!

Last special I did was to replace the sofa with the "theater seating", which the DW & I both love! Power recliners, a nice console, & USB ports built in as well!

Folks have different wants, desires, & needs, and that is the beauty of ordering a Newmar!

And there are numerous knowledgeable Newmar owners in this forum, that can give you good advice & direction!

Enjoy the process, have fun, enjoy the coach, & safe travels!
